The List returns in 2014 with a smorgasbord of popular culture delights, including a new emphasis on television. This week, the telemovie adaptation of Peter Temple’s novel The Broken Shore comes under the microscope, with guests writer Tom Wright and actor and writer Graeme Blundell. Also, Australian Open winner Li Na joked that her husband is more famous than her in China.
